lar Ornaments, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to efl'ect the ornamentation of difi'eren't articles by produc ing thereon the imitation of that which is I more beautiful in ornamental forms or figures;

and it consists ina certain new and improved compound applied to the surface of the article to be ornamented, which application of the ornameniing material or compound is aided l; by raised. lines or surfaces in relief, substantially as hereinafter'more fully set forth.

The ornamentation of articles by casting or pressing into molds with intaglio or intaglia ated surfaces filled with different-colored materials is open to the objection that such articles can never be brought to a durable and perfect polish. Stamping, printing, stencil-'- ing, or lithographing the article is too easily detected as imitation.

My compound, which forms an artificial wood, consists of the follown g z one hundred (100) parts of silicatenisoda: thirty (30) parts of carbonate 0 n thirty (30) twenty (20) parts of su iale a a nun 1a."
